The 5 “U-Needs,” and Why This Program Succeeds Where Books, Tapes,
Seminars & Workshops Fail
Less than 10% of the books that get bought, get read. Implementation rates among people who listen to tapes
and go to events ranges from 1.4 to 8.4 percent. Why such a pitiful track record?
Other methods of training are simply incomplete. They give you only some of the key elements you must have
to assimilate new knowledge and convert it into meaningful action.

The 5 “U-needs”
If you are to succeed at the highest levels, you need these
5 key elements…
• The “What To Dos” – You simply must know what to do.
• The “How To Do Its” – How you do the whats can have an
exponential impact on the results you get. A 2-word change in a
headline, for example, can increase response to an ad by 1,000%.
• The Resources to get it done – nobody can do it all alone. You need
resources. Tough to get them from books, tapes and events.
• The Feedback to make sure you do it right – The biggest reason
people don’t take action following reading books, listening to
tapes or attending events is fear of failure; fear of doing it wrong.
Feedback gives you the confidence to know you’re doing it right.
• The Accountability to make sure you actually do it – Somebody has
to hold your feet to the fire. Somebody has to consistently hold you
accountable to make sure you do what you know you should, in a
timely fashion.

Only an on-going Coaching process, like The Principle Centered

Marketing Program, takes you by the hand and guides you through
the development of new, immediately applicable knowledge, skills,
habits and systems.

You can surely see, can’t you, that this is the most effective and
efficient way to gain these vital business assets.

 THE PRINCIPLE-CENTERED COACHING PROCESS
(How Your Program Works)
Far more than a weekly “cheerleading” call, business, more tailored to your specific

meaningful, more directly applicable to your

Here is the process you’ll experience in building

your marketing skills and systems…
1. You’ll receive a 253 page, 25 chapter manual, supplementary materials, software,
forms and templates, and a set of 16 audio sessions, all to be used as assignment
material during the course of the 4 to 6-month program.

2. You’ll complete and submit a comprehensive Marketing Needs Analysis, designed

to take a “snapshot” of your marketing efforts currently and in the past, along with
assessing your current level of marketing skill. You’ll also submit samples of your
current and past marketing efforts.

3. You’ll engage in an initial telephone conference, during which you and your Certified
Coach will review your Marketing Needs Analysis for details, added insights, etc.
During that call, you and your Coach will establish a time for a regularly scheduled
telephone appointment. These appointments typically last about 40 to 50 minutes.
Your Coach will also make your first assignments.

4. You are responsible for completing your marketing assignments for each session and
forwarding them to your Coach at least 24 hours prior to your regularly scheduled
phone conference. Plan on spending an average of 45 to 60 minutes per working
day on your program. Of course, you can cram, but that will defeat one of the major
benefits of the program… building the HABIT of working ON your business, instead
of merely IN your business.

5. You’ll have Ascend Marketing’s collection of resources at your disposal, including

turnkey marketing systems, promotions and programs, creative personnel, design and
production capabilities, all available to you at deep discounts. Some are even FREE!

The point is, this program is customized for,

and responsive to, your specific needs. 5

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY…
“I sent a letter to my customers for an annual private sale. I applied some of the things I learned. The
results were stunning! We had a 129% increase. Within two weeks the profit from this one event paid
for the coaching program 5 times over.”
Kent Monsen, President
Monsen Brothers Appliance
“If you want your business to experience immediate, dramatic growth, you owe it to yourself to enroll
in Ascend’s Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching program.”
Dave Tippets, President
Paymaster Employee Leasing
“Sales are up 40% over last year and I attribute at least half of that to the coaching program. I highly
recommend the coaching program to any business who wants to increase sales. It has caused me to
build the habit of working ON my business, instead of just in it. It’s how you’ve taught me to think, and
the marketing habits you’ve helped me to build, that are the greatest achievements of the program.”
Travis Mitchell, GM
Keith Jorgensen’s Music Center
“I doubled my business in six months. How did I do it? It was amazingly easy. The first week I
implemented just one of the marketing techniques I learned. Suddenly I was able to go from spending
hours chasing down one potential prospect at his office, to having six or eight prospects meet me at
my office and be glad they came. I never realized business could be done this way. What a refreshing
change! And I didn’t have to spend a single additional advertising dollar.”
Murray Blake
Blake & Company Insurance & Investments
“We feel that two of the ideas we got in the first session alone… creating a ‘senior’s’ division and the
graduated referral program… make the entire coaching program worth the investment. Just wanted to
let you know we feel like we’ve started off with a bang and will reap many benefits from this.”
Marv & Pam Kombrink, REALTORS®
RE/MAX Excels
“Through the coaching program I redesigned our literature to tell our story in terms of customer
benefits. Because of the compelling offers you helped us develop and the ability to sell from the
customer’s point of view, sales are up 25% (200% in one month alone) and we’ve cut marketing
expenses by 40%. Who wouldn’t feel appreciative if sales were up, overhead was down, and new
doors were opening all the time? Heartfelt thanks to you from Bob and me!
Sue Scarr, VP Marketing
VSM Marketing, Manufacturer of Fast -Aid™ Medical Centers
“The best I could ever muster for the month of July was $19,000… until I enrolled in your Coaching
program. Using the promotional principles and strategies you taught me, I did a private sale and in two
days and two hours, I generated $22,000.00 worth of sales. By the time July was over, I came up just
$23 short of having a $60,000.00 month! That’s better than three Julys… and it didn’t cost me an extra
dime in marketing or margins.”
Frank Coppin, President
Coppin’s Hallmark
